In the red sunset, everyone began to eat and drink. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The kitchen is constantly serving a variety of delicacies that can only be seen in modern times.

Although Xiao Ming has been working hard power, he is also worried about this soft power, in addition to food, he is also preparing for the revival of literature and art, and this is a war against Confucian feudal thought.

But now he didn't dare to act rashly, even if he was a vassal king, he didn't dare to be an enemy of all the scholars in the world at this time, he just waited to slowly strengthen the authority of the Bowen Academy, and then try it with Qingzhou as a pilot.

After all, most of today's scholars still take becoming an official as their lifelong goal, which greatly affects his cultivation of talents.

While eating, a few people still couldn't stop talking, Pang Yukun said: "Your Highness, the sales of this wine, soap, and perfume are now flattening, Your Highness is talented, haven't you considered new products during this time?" ”

Pang Yukun's question smelled the point, this drunk Qingzhou, soap and perfume have been tossed for a year now, and this freshness has passed.

The most important thing is that the right to sell these three goods was auctioned off by him, and for a long time he could only make a profit by selling goods directly.

Moreover, the merchants who took these three commodities were all big merchants in various states, and the small merchants of Dayu couldn't drink the soup.

At that time, Xiao Ming was to make money to promote the rapid development of Qingzhou, but when he passed this period smoothly, the problem came out, and the monopoly of big businessmen made business still inactive.

Therefore, he has always considered introducing new goods to provide business opportunities for the people in the fiefdom.

And now he has identified new commodities.

He said: "There are already them, and in the past two days I have ordered the workshop to produce one or two pieces, and this time I will not auction off the right to sell this product, but let all merchants buy it." ”

Pang Yukun was happy in his heart, the Chamber of Commerce was a little lifeless during this time, and few new businessmen joined, if there was a new product launched, it would inevitably stimulate business again.

As soon as Pang Yukun's voice fell, Lu Fei said: "Your Highness, the last general also has something to say, Luo Xin's artillery has a special school, should our other soldiers also have one, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced, after all, in this battle of Cangzhou, they play a much greater role than artillery." ”

He had already thought about this question during the day, and he said to Niu Ben: "This king has left you a school, old general, I don't know how much you know about the flag language?" ”

"Your Highness, I'm proficient in this flag language, do you mean to select some soldiers to be the flag speakers?" Niu Ben said.

"And not only that, but also drummers, trumpeters." Xiao Ming said.

"Drummer, trumpeter?" Niu Ben stopped the wine in his hand and looked at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming explained: "This drummer is trained for the future, and this trumpeter can issue various orders by blowing the trumpet in wartime, such as the charge trumpet, the wake-up trumpet, the drill number, the closing drill number, the assembly number, the emergency assembly number, the rest number, the meal number, etc., which can be said to be no worse than the flag language, but you may not know what a military horn is, and when the equipment department produces it, this king will show it to you." ”

Niu Ben nodded when he heard this, it seems that the regularization of the army is going to take a step forward.

Since the banquet has become a small meeting, Xiao Ming simply said: "There is one more thing, this matter involves everyone, and this is unified weights and measures. ”

Xiao Ming said this to Pang Yukun, and Pang Yukun was surprised: "Your Highness, this weights and measures have been unified since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, this is ......"

Xiao Ming said: "Indeed, but this king is talking about another set of weights and measures, and this king will write a special textbook." ”

With the gradual pursuit of refinement in industry, the reform of weights and measures is inevitable, whether it is chemistry or industry, a set of scientific weights and measures are needed.

At this banquet, Xiao Ming just reminded them that these things would have to be done one by one in the future.

The banquet lasted for an hour, and everyone left with a full meal of wine and food.

When Xiao Ming returned to the dormitory, he officially compiled the teaching materials, one of which was the flag language, military horn, drummer operation, etc., and the second was the unit of weights and measures.

However, Xiao Ming was a little difficult when writing about the units of weights and measures, these units were easy to write, but the real difficulty was the tools of weights and measures.

For example, a ruler and something like that, he had to find a way to produce it accurately.

After being busy in the middle of the night, Xiao Ming fell asleep, and the next morning, Li San arrived at the palace very early.

He said: "Your Highness, Zhao Yuanliang has been living in the Wei family restaurant since he left the palace and has not left, and the person named Zhao Kuan who came with him has also been in contact with the Zhao merchants in the city, and he doesn't know what he is planning. ”

Xiao Ming was washing his face while listening to Li San's report, which he asked Li San to report to him every day.

"Definitely won't plan anything good, in this case, let's put a long line to catch a big fish, hmph, this Zhao Yuanliang must rely on Queen Zhao is his aunt is not afraid of this king, but I can't let him come in Qingzhou." Xiao Ming said.

Li San nodded, "In that case, it's time to rest soon, and I'll inform the craftsman to get ready." ”

"Well, let's start, get rid of this guy as soon as possible, and this king's heart will be a little more comfortable." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Li San bowed in response, then turned around and left the palace.

Back to the secret guard, Li San prepared and went to the Instrument Division, where he and the three craftsmen who acted as bait.

These three craftsmen are all natives of Qingzhou, and their wives and daughters are all local.

Although Xiao Ming has always been very tolerant of craftsmen, but when it comes to Qingzhou secrets, he has to have the heart of a villain, all the craftsmen of the instrument department, their families will be uniformly placed in a private workshop in Qingzhou, nominally unified arrangement, but also give a lot of benefits, but also to prevent the craftsman from selling the secrets of the instrument department.

The craftsmen were bright, but they didn't say anything, because it seemed normal to them, and they used to live a stricter life than this.

"If someone finds you, you will pretend to sell them artillery technology, and the guards will always follow you, but you must also be vigilant to prevent any accidents." Li San said.

"Yes, follow Li Dutong's words." The craftsmen said that they were still grateful to Xiao Ming from the bottom of their hearts.

The artisan households were already very low in the Great Yu Kingdom, and Xiao Ming gave them dignity and a generous salary, and at the same time, their children could also enter the school for free, and now they have nothing else to ask for.

Li San nodded, he had already ordered the secret guards of the whole city to act on this day, if he found evidence, Xiao Ming would have a reason to drive Zhao Yuanliang away.
